Science fiction's greatest living legend, Leonard Nimoy (you may know him as Spock [that's Mister Spock to you]), has revealed he has chronic lung disease.

Speculation as to the state of the iconic Star Trek actor's health arose after he was spotted in a wheelchair at a New York airport earlier this week.

The 82-year-old had a breathing tube attached.

Concerned fans have been seeking answers ever since "Spock" stopped appearing at conventions in 2011. He did, however, make a guest appearance in the recent movie Star Trek: Into Darkness, as well as in an Audi commercial.

Last night (Jan 30th), a tweet on Leonard Nimoy's official twitter account stated:

The sign-off refers to his character's well-known phrase from Star Trek, "Live long and prosper."

COPD is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It's a degenerative condition that makes it increasingly hard for sufferers to breathe. It is usually associated with severe coughs, wheezing and a shortness of breath. The leading cause is listed on many medical sites as being smoking.

because people can't be fucked to take their pet to the vet when their pet's fur is falling out and their poop is full of blood

i follow some cat blogs and i realize that money is tight for a lot of people but it's so disturbing how people ask cat blogs qs like 'my cat hasn't eaten for four days and just lies under my bed whimpering, should i be concerned.'

yes, lots of cat's get lung cancer from itif you smoke near your cat you are increasing their risk of getting lung cancer by a shitload. i know this from experience so it's pretty depressing

their respiratory systems are incredibly sensitive.also unrelated to smoking but yall, try to keep lotions/body sprays/house sprays, etc away from cats, dont spray in areas they normally hang out in because most of them have plant extracts in them, which are incredibly toxic to a cat (their body can not filter it, so it builds up indefinitely in their kidneys, eventually weakening them, bringing on kidney failure)
